Maggi cubes

Maggi cubes have become an indispensable part of cooking in many African countries, serving as a key seasoning in dishes ranging from tieboudian in Dakar, ndolè in Yaoundé, soupou kandja in Bamako, to chicken yassa in Nouakchott. These cubes, weighing four grams and measuring nearly three centimeters, are considered as essential to recipes as spoonfuls of oil or pinches of salt, becoming a habitual addition to a variety of dishes despite the abundance of spices available in local markets.

The tradition of seasoning sauces with Maggi cubes has been passed down through generations, with many chefs recalling their mothers and grandmothers using this famous broth cube. Invented in 1886 by Swiss Julius Maggi, the cube was designed to enhance the flavor of bland broths and tasteless soups and to save time in the kitchen.

It’s important to remember that moderation enhances taste—the Maggi cube is a condiment, not an ingredient.

Maggi cubes are available for purchase at the Afritibi market, allowing you to add this essential seasoning to your cooking repertoire and enjoy the rich flavors it brings to your dishes.
